Man-made filament yarn (other than sewing thread), put up for retail sale

HS v2017 Code: 5406

About man-made filament yarn (other than sewing thread), put up for retail sale

HS code 5406 covers the trade and production of man-made filament yarn, excluding sewing thread, that is packaged for retail sale. This industry plays a crucial role in the global textile and apparel supply chain, providing essential raw materials for the manufacturing of a wide range of fabric-based products. The demand for these man-made filaments is driven by their versatility, durability, and cost-effectiveness compared to natural fibers, making them a popular choice across various industries.

Production process

The production of man-made filament yarn under HS code 5406 typically involves the extrusion of synthetic polymers, such as polyester, nylon, or acrylic, into continuous filaments. These filaments are then drawn, twisted, and sometimes textured to impart specific properties, such as increased strength, elasticity, or luster. The resulting yarn is then packaged and prepared for retail sale, often in the form of skeins, cones, or other consumer-friendly formats.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of man-made filament yarn under HS code 5406 include synthetic polymers, such as polyester, nylon, or acrylic resins, as well as specialized machinery for the extrusion, drawing, and packaging of the yarn. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are needed to power the production equipment, and various chemical additives may be used to enhance the yarn's properties or appearance.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 5406 is man-made filament yarn, which is then consumed by a wide range of downstream industries. This yarn may be used in the production of 5407 Woven fabrics of man-made filament yarn, 5408 Woven fabrics of man-made filament yarn, or 5501 Synthetic filament tow, among other textile and apparel products. The versatility of these man-made filaments allows them to be incorporated into a diverse array of consumer and industrial applications.
